yeah this will be funny. because berto is a product of marketing ,and hasn't really found his audience yet. zaveck might have some drawing power if they promote him correctly. namely mexicans like fighters who come to fight and come from the social bottom. zaveck is also charismatic and well... he's white.

most american slovenians are in philadelphia, and around salt lake city if they're gonna consider that too.
so i think these considerations might narrow down the venues somewhat.
for all i care they can fight in slovenia we have a 16,000 seat football stadium ready if berto dares to come.

I highly doubt Berto travels there,I don't believe he has the ball's to do that at all...I think he will try and land some advantage somewhere along the lines..I just don't want this fight to be in FL..I don't want another Alexander situation on are hands..

Best of luck to him, hope he wins.

i've talked to a few of my friends who are also sports fans and travelers about this fight,and they told me the best venue for them would be las vegas. because they would go from slovenia to germany and from there they have direct flights to vegas on some airports. and they liked to see it as tourists too. any other destination barring major US cities like chicago,washington, LA and NY would be problematic. and salt lake city is also close to vegas so those slovenians living there would surely go greet zavec. and not to mention it's probably got the most quality judges there too. i hope dibella reads this lol. but we'll see.

I see this fight going like Berto-Collazo. Close competitive fight that the judges are going to give to Berto.

But I'm still betting on Zavec is anyone wants it.

this fight hasn't even been finalized yet. apparently they just have the TV date set up for now. let's wait with the bets for now, although from what it seems there are few berto fans here lol!
